Hello there.
I am a Samsung Galaxy S4 International version user. I just bought the phone a week ago.
I am experiencing issues with keyboard. I use SwiftKey and Samsung keyboard.
Sometimes when I try to delete the whole word or use a long press shortcut my device just won't do it. It just deletes a letter..
Anyone experiencing the same issue?

Hey all
Recently bought the S4. Previously had the Note II, needed something smaller.
I had my Note 2 rooted so had no problem opening the "Samsung Apps" as id change my location.
Due to having this new phone and for some reason Samsung not permitting my country to access Samsung Apps i need help... How can i open samsung apps and get content and stuff from there??
I tried download VPN One Click but it wasn't working.. maybe it's because it only worked for the S3?
If anybody knows a way WITHOUT rooting let me know!!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
anyone !?
Well you can try this too

Hello ,
I am using stock rom with root .
I have inconsistency behavior with the "Recent Apps" function (long press on home button) :
Sometimes it show that no recent apps exist, and the list is empty, and after the second try it shows the full list of Recent Apps as expected....
if I try another time (after two seconds!) it show again that no Recent Apps... etc...
Another thing :
Sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open
Is it happens to you too ? Is it LG's bug ??
Thanks.
I'm on stock unrooted and I'm experiencing the same thing. Also, sometimes after holding down the home button to get to the recent apps I'll get the vibration to know that it registered the touch but the recent apps won't open. This is a huge factor in my decision to root and install a custom room soon. I want that recent apps button instead of having to long press the home button.

Exactly ! this happens to me too. I will add it to the main post.
P.S - I don't know if a custom rom will help with this as I didn't see any custom rom mention that.
I've had the same problem at least an year on sgs2, sg note, gnex, sgs3 and now on my g2, all have been running aosp, so I doubt a custom rom will help.
Edit: count in also my asus transformer prime. I also think this mainly happens when running heavier apps, like games.

I restarted the phone and the problem has been gone for the meanwhile.
No need a custom ROM, I'm using G2 exposed with my G2 and it work like a charm, not bug at all. U should try this.

I'm not sure about Exposed...
Does Exposed, in any circumstance, could influence OTA update ?
If I will remove Exposed + moduls, will the system return to the beginning state ? with the original APK's and their signatures ?
I'm asking that because G2 is about to get the OTA soon for 4.4 (Kitkat) and I don't want to miss it.
I haven't got recent bug but I have different. I keep apps in 6-7 folders. But when I restart device 2-3 apps in folders change order and folders (3G watchdog and booking). Does it only happen in my device?
Also an unrelated question. Is there any way to disable lockscreen help?
Not lg g2 user but just want to give you info, it is caused by android doing caching for recent apps. It was the same with my razr maxx before and i know it because i have tried to open the android framework too. On a second time then it will give you the actual recent apps.

S-Pan problems
So this is really annoying, looks like there is a problem with the s-pen with galaxy tools i'm having the "action memo" as well as Scrapbook failing on me. The auto-desk sketchbook works fine.The S Note also fails once you draw something and than click the back button.
I hope that the KITKAT glitch and they will fix with an update since I'm running the Stock with root.
Also had various samsung apps consistently force closing on me. it was quite frustrating.
the only solution that worked was a factory reset.
problems like these are an inevitable side effect of computer technology, and there is nothing we can do to prevent them.
instead, reset and move on

You mean just factory reset ? Or a total wipe and loosing the root.

I meant simply factory reset. Whether you will lose root or not depending on your setup.
If you are running a custom rom, you most likely will not lose root.
Well i don't know if it was just luck but i made it work...I open Action note WITHOUT the pen (with my finger) and it worked!!! After that it's working normaly with the pen. Try that and tell me if it works.

Thanks for the sugestion, didn't work in my case tho.
And people stop telling to factory reset, its not a solution.
I've been having this problem for a while now, and tried several things.
Restoring apps didnt work.
I am rooted tho, but didnt change much stuff.
So i'd love to see a solution, as i dont want to factory reset (and go trought the burden of getting everything back like i want it). And have to factory reset again when it happens again.
Is there anyway to find out what has actualy stopped working, as i can replicate this in command.
Action memo
Like others, my Action Memo stopped working. I found my old memos stored as jpg in a device folder, actionmemo. They can be viewed and deleted but not modified. At least they weren't lost. I tried soft rest, pulling the battery, and every tip suggested on this site and other sites. I was at least able to use S-note for a while.
I mistakenly assumed that Samsung must have replaced the app with S-note after the update. After a week the Action Memo app returned without any action on my part.
By the next post after this one I realize this site apparently doesn't want posts from regular users so I will not post again. Suggestions from the pros didn't help me. Time for an apparent automatic update was probably the solution.

Thanks for trying to help.
But please stop posting this nonsence on all the forums.
It is NOT true. Both apps are still on the phone!
BTW you have also been told multiple times its not true (on difrent topics).
Have seen some possible solutions on difrent forums.
- Theres 1 were someone explaines he brought his phone to a Samsung-rep, and they uninstalled some software which made it work.
- Others do have succes after factory reset.
- Or launching S-note without the S-pen works for some.
- I have yet to try deleting S-pen application files. But that might be an solution too altho i havent seen anyone having succes with it.
- Have also seen someone with succes after battery pull and reinsterting SIM and SD card.
If anyone else has some suggestions lets collect them here. Lurking trough difrent forums is just a pain.
Go to settings -> application manger -> disabled find there (myscript resources manger) then enable it then restart your phone
This what works for me let me know if for you work.
Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

After KitKat update I guess! Didn't had this problem in JB. Deleted SecView apk and seems to be fine so far though ?

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

Install Xposed from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Install my module http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/Android/Xposed/DisableSView.apk
It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

Have you ever figured out how to turn off S-view magnet sensor? I have the same problem with a magnetic car mount and it's very annoying.

Well people say just by removing the L1 screw in our phones under the back, the issue gets resolved.
There is one screw name L1 just under our cover.

First Thanks for uploading your files but sadly I think I broke something because I geting only a black screen with statusbar at the top even when I paste in your files back in and this happens since I accidentally delete my. (before that black screen with time, date and so on)
I found no process or app or autostart that contains "s view" or something like that. How did find it and how was it named ?

You saved my ass, thanks for that. After getting root and so on I tried to follow your instructions. The App was there and I stopped it but needed only one tap (clicked once ->Force Stop) and then stick it on the phone holder but again the S View Cover Screen comes on (with time/date and status bar). I have no clue what to do now because I can't deactivate the app even.
EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Does your dock have something magnetic??
A magnet triggers that stupid sview.
Use any custom rom that doesnot have sview. It shall get solved.

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
